NOW JULY 20, 2013 Mansour: Removing Hezbollah ‘insane’ Lebanon’s caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said that the of idea alienating Hezbollah from the Lebanese political is “insane.” “It is insane to think about removing Hezbollah from the Lebanese political scene by alienating it,” Mansour told An-Nour radio station on Saturday. Mansour also stressed that he asked the European Union in his latest letter “to think carefully about putting Hezbollah on the terrorist list because the decision might be used as an excuse to cause political crises in Lebanon.” “This decision cannot be dealt with lightly or with nonchalance,” he stated, adding that “the decision will have negative repercussions and will not serve the Lebanese-European ties.” On Thursday, President Michel Suleiman tasked Mansour to request the European Union not to put Hezbollah on the terrorist blacklist and described the Shiite group as “one of the main components of the Lebanese society.” https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/lebanonnews/mansour-removing-hezbollah-insane
